The Big South Fork National River & Recreation Area is quickly gaining recognition as a destination for mountain bikers. In fact, the International Mountain Biking Association (IMBA) gave the park its prestigious "Epic" designation for mountain biking in 2012. Mountain bikes are permitted on all horse trails throughout the park, but five designated bike trails between the park's West Entrance and Bandy Creek are the primary draw. The trails are located just minutes from Laurel Fork Rustic Retreat!

Whether you’re wanting to explore new scenery, expand your portfolio, or simply get out into nature with your camera, the Big South Fork is a great place to both relax and let your creative side go wild!
